The study of sign languages attempts to create a coherent model that binds the expressive nature of signs conveyed in gestures to a linguistic framework. Gesture modelling offers an alternative that provides device independence, scalability and flexibility for the annotation and modelling of linguistic phenomena. This paper presents the requirements and initial experiments to build an input met...

Incremental hierarchical sliding mode control (IHSMC) methodology involves 2n−2 sign switches of controller parameters for an underactuated system with n subsystems. Too many sign switches trouble parameter tuning. This paper presents an adaptive control design approach based on IHSMC methodology for overhead crane systems with 2 subsystems with only 1 sign switch. The system stability is prove...
